Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 12, 1905.

Application filed October 6, 1904. Serial No. 227,346.

To (LZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. PAULsoN, a subject of the King of Swedenand Norway, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, New York city,and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Soap-Bubble Generators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to soap-bubble toys; and it consists ofabubble-generating device in which the blow-tube and funnel are combinedin a simple and cheap construction with a water and soap holding cupcomprising two parts only and being a simple and efiicient device toconstruct, as hereinafter described, reference being made to theaccompanying drawings, in which 2 Figure 1 is a plan view of my improveddevice. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 1 1 of Fig. 1.

A represents a sheet-metal or other suitable cup, preferably of suchmaterial as will not break readily. It is preferably provided with aremovable cover a, flanged so as to fit on the-top of the cup, either byscrewing thereon or not.

6' represents the blow-tube, which is fitted through the cup near thetop horizontally, preferably being tightly fitted in perforations of thesides of the cup at 0, soras not to leak, and projecting at each sidesuitably for the provision of a mouthpiece d at one end and a funnel eat the other end, said end merging in the small end of the funnel at f.Within the cup a .slight aperture 9 is cut for suction of soapy waterinto the tube by blowing through the tube from the mouthpiece.

For best results the cup is to be shaken or jerked slightly beforeblowing to throw a wave of water onto the tube and deposit thereon aslight film to be taken up by the air-jet and carried along into thefunnel, where it develops in bubbles in the usual way.

The soap solution may be prepared before charging the cup or the cup maybe charged with plain water and a small piece of soap it for dissolvinggradually in the water.

The tube will preferably be arranged hori- Zontally through the cupabove the level of the water; but it may be otherwise arranged and maydip into the water; but in such case the aperture Q will be so limitedin capacity as may be found best.

What I claim as my invention is A soap-bubble toy comprising awater-holding cup adapted to sit upright, a removable flanged coverfor-closing the top of said cup, a blow-tube extending through the cupand beneath the top and having an aperture within the cup, a mouthpieceextension applied on the said tube at one side'of the cup, and a funnelextension applied on the said tube on the other side of the cup, theparts being arranged and combined substantially as shown and described.

Signed at New York this '27 th day of September, 1904.
